[SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DARNALL, Former Bdito~ of The Key West Citizen Mrs. Sarah Delano Roosevelt is one of only six women in our history to see her son elected president of the United States. The other five were the mothers of Wash- ington, Polk, Grant, Garfield and McKin- ley. The mother of Grover Cleveland died about two years before his first election in 1884, s Mrs. Walter Ferguson te!ls the story of a farmer who shortly, after the election presented.a jug at the post office window and asked that it be filled with beer. When informed that tio beer was on tap~he said, “Durned if they didn’t teli me the postmas- ter would sell beer when the democrats got in.” As we understand the idea of some of our psychologists, the proper treatment for murderers and thugs would be to domicile .them in cheertul surroundings, with spe- cial food and entertainment, together with the constant ministrations of pretty nurses. But under such cireemstarces the criminals might not wish to get well. John Gildea, a New York bridegroom, was disitlusioned early. When he attempt- ed to kiss his bride immediately after the ceremony,.she, objected. put fipall¥ sub-|, mitted to a formal caress on the theek. John said, “I didn’t suppose they got that way for a year or two.” Dancing exhibitions of the coming sea- son will include illustrations of a new series of gyrations called the “bendola,’® accord- ing to a press dispatch. The new dance is said to combine the worst features of the cake-walk, the Charleston and the St. Vitus. Henry Ange, a New Jersey farmer, thought it would be a kindness to put a 32- year-old mare out of the way-by shooting her. ‘Themare had similar ideas about end- ing Henry’s troubles, so when he ap- proached on his errand of mercy she kicked him to death. J. P. Alley’s famous character *Eam- bone” gets off a neat wisecrack to the ef- fect that he ~-ould rather have “half of | sump’n than all of nothin”’—which is a clever version of the old half a loaf prov- erb, and illustrates how an ancient idea may be twisted into a brand-new witticism. | Pathfinder’s definitions of a hick town: Where the sewthg circle is still the} grand jury. Where the gossips get excited when a widower shaves on Wednesday. Where the natives are deferential to the college boy home for the holidays, =] THOSE-FORE:GN DEBTS Reduced to its simpiest terms, th> for- {eign cebt situation is that the Europesn governments owe the United Stetes the i sum of.$11,000,000,000. which was loaned ; to them during the World war. In order to lend this sum, our coun- | try issued Liberty bonds which it must pay when due, at the same time paying interest | on them. These payments, which are made | | annually, are made possible by taxing our j people. | whether the American people-are to:pay these interest and amortization paynients | for foreign nations, or as to i! ether the | | foreign nations are to maké the’ payments | themselves. There can be but one answer. | These foreiga governments borrowed this | money to carry on a war, they spent the money in carrying on this war and the ex- pense is theirs and not ours. There is no reason for the American people carrying the expense. At an average rate of interest of 3% per cent, the interest charges alone amount to $412,500,000, which must either i be paid by the countries which owe us or | paid by our own people. This interest pay.nent of more than $400,000,000 plus the amount that should be paid off om the indebtedness itself, would go a long way to balance our bud- | get, and does go a long way toward ex- plaining why we have a treasury deficit which we must make up in taxes. There is of course another side. There are generally two sides to every qucstion. Had the debtor countries cf Europe been plunged into bankruptey, our bankers who made the foreign loans would have lost their capital, but we would also have lost| ours. In saving our int .1netional bankers we have also saved ourselves. But the.say- ing to ourselves is largely in the future. Taxes once paid never come back. Our pol'ticians, regardless of party, always manage to find a way of spending a surplus. Thus the saving to « r “ves is rather more fancied than real. But the saving to the international bunkers is very real. In all justice a way should be fuund through legislation to ag: some of the cost of saving Euro,e on Boe and bankers that have ‘eapell e+ < veatest benefit. : ‘ : A tax on the interest pa! its on for- eign loans made independently by our in- ternaticnal bankers would seem to be an equitable procedure. We should inzist: ‘on ‘our bankers sharing the expense cf saving }Burope from bankruptcy in the same pro- portion that they share the benefits with us. THE WRONG PICTURE Old John Robinson, the pioneer circus man, was a picturesque character, about whom many amusing anecdotes have been told. A typical one was recently published, and has to do with his building of Robin- son's opera house, one of Cincinnati’s larg- est arid most costly theaters of early days. He had ordered that the decorations be especially elaborate and entered one day to inspect the work of the decorator, who wes engaged in painting a large: pic- ture on the ceiling. “Whose picture is that?‘‘. demanded old John. “Shakespeare’s,” yelled .the ) fold. “Well, does he own this theater?” asked the real owner. The artist admitted | that Shakespeare did not. “Then paint him out and put my pic- ture there,” ordered old John. And the picture is there to this day.
